Mid-Jan 2016

So it's now mid-January..and things at work isn't working out..motivation dropping since a couple of days ago

I'm actually working for my dad..and our core product is the FOG BioEliminator..which essentially emulsifies fat, oil and grease in grease traps..

I don't have the passion to carry on..I really don't..there is nothing motivating me to continue on

What's worst is that I've never had a goal I wanted to achieve once I left college..I did not get my degree..and the course that I studied was Business Administration that I wasn't passionate about either =/

Basically I've been "sculptured" to business..in essence take over my dad's work..ever since I was a kid..both parents will say "study hard and do business"..a typical Chinese family I guess =/

And when I wanted to do business..it was towards computer hardware..well..since I love computer games and it relates to the hardware..that's why I studied IT during my SPM days

Of course when I wanted to study Multimedia or Game Design to further my studies..both parents said no..granted I didn't do very well to get any scholarship

I've worked as a store assistant in a stationery store..then to a receptionist in a hotel (which I enjoyed even with low pay)..and to a kitchen cabinet salesperson (a subsidiary of a prestigious kitchen cabinet company) and finally promoted to a trainer of the same kitchen cabinet company..

I eventually left to help out le dad due to family pressure and here I am..3 years on..entering my 4th year in May 2016..and my motivation is dying...

I started my Youtube Channel a couple of months back..and I felt good uploading videos even though I am no pro..but it was fun seeing people viewing my playing my games..

I'm also glad that le gf Lainey stood by me all the way..and knowing I'm very down she still cheer me up..thanks honey! And I apologize I did not mention about your Christmas gift in the previous post

I have no photo of it..but I really appreciate the gift of a belt you gotten me! THANK YOU!!!!

As for other readers and my Youtube viewers..thank you for coming and watching my videos..I know there's still load of work need to be done..but I'll slowly improve

I had passion in working as a receptionist in the hotel..it was really satisfying when your hotel guest checks out with an honest smile of satisfaction and thanks you on their way out..

Yes..hotel work pay is very low..in fact mine was actually about RM1k per month after all the deduction..granted I did not have much commitment at the time..I eventually left because the family did not like with the working hours..

Even when I was selling kitchen cabinets..I was passionate in selling and providing training to new staffs later on..although doing the training was still new to me at the time..it wasn't long before I left due to family pressure to work with le dad..

Sigh..

While I was away

Hey guys! Merry Christma--....

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016! Heh heh...

Yeah I'm late! Sorry for being away from the blog for a very long time..well here's an update!

I actually made an impromptu Christmas/Thank You video..and I was mumbling AND just talking away without any proper direction..I WAS NOT PREPARED! HAHA!


On Christmas le gf and I; and friends went for Karaoke at Teo Heng in Sunway Giza..we sang and laughed real hard! Haha..it was a fun day out..ended the day nomming with a "simple" dinner at Wong Kok which is also in Sunway Giza xD

Was also busy nomming around town for the new year..ooh ooh..and we watched Star Wars Episode VII! We both enjoyed the movie! I know many don't but I'm glad mostly did because we did too!

WARNING..FOOD PORN AHEAD!

Before the movie we went to grab some brunch at Food Foundry at Section 17 PJ..we were a little early so their famous Crepe selection was limited..VERY limited..there was only Vanilla! So we ended up getting a Tiramisu..

Le Tiramisu Cake...it's gooooooood

We then got a little hungry and decided to have brunch here..and we ordered Pan Seared Butter Fish with Mango and Japanese Salsa..and goodness me..we had no idea it'll taste so good..I'm drooling as I'm typing this! HAHAHA..the butter fish was tender and juicy! The salsa mix was so goooood..and the mash potato..the fragrance is something that hits home..


For dinner..we went to Palsaik 8-Color Pork BBQ..8 Colour as in 8 different marination per pork belly (75g)

Le GF and I took the RM128 set which was meant for 2-4 pax xD

It's recommended to start from Ginseng, Wine, Pine Leaves, Garlic, Herb, Curry, Miso Paste and ending with Hot (Spicy)

I find my favourite being Herb, Pine Leaves and Garlic..

Ginseng was quite mild..

Wine had a slight tinge of red wine at the end of each bite..

Pine Leaves has a very strong aroma which is delish!

Garlic is gooood even it was just plain garlic!

Herb is very similar to those "Garlic & Herb" spice bottles used for pasta..so it's DELISH! xD

Curry was very very mild for Asian standard xP

Miso Paste wasn't very appetising..and the miso aroma was again very mild!

Hot aka Spicy...the most disappointing of the lot..not even spicy

The set also comes with a huge bowl of seafood soup which was good! The banchan aka Korean side dish that came with this sat was very..boring..HAHAHA..per person was a bowl of salad and cucumber in spicy sauce..that's it!

NEXT..ONTO my Youtube videos!

Remember the mic I bought from my previous blog post? I've started using and the Audio Log above was my first use of it..and all my other videos since then is using the new mic..let me know what you think!

Check out my Youtube Channel!

Christmas present arrived!

So earlier in December I made a purchase for a mic (BM800) and a scissor arm for the mic..it was estimated to arrive in between 8th-13th January 2016

And everytime I have the chance I'll be looking for reviews on Youtube on the mic..many of the reviewers are pros and audiophiles!

Most reviews on the mic is good! They are surprised with the decent quality of the mic..however they recommend to use phantom power.

There are also videos of those plugging the mic directly to the pc..or even to a USB soundcard..with the USB soundcard providing the better option..of course the best would be phantom power

Now with me being a cheapo..I found the mic being sold at Lazada for RM70 bucks..and the cheapest among the other merchants that selling the same mic (highest was over RM300!)..added a cheap scissor arm for RM 30..I spent about RM100 bucks for both!

Chose the black/gold combination because it looks awesome and sleeeeeeeek..and before you know it..the mic arrives..3 weeks after purchase..about 2 weeks earlier..

First things first..it's not in a box unlike those appeared on Youtube videos I've watched..it came in it's foam protector case..and a wrap-around foam piece! Aaaaaannnnnd..WRONG COLOR!


Yup..PINK! OMFG..PINK! Of allllll colours..it arrived PINK! But you know what? FOOK IT! I embrace the Pink! 


No..that ain't a dildo! The internet has spoiled too many minds!

Went home and set it all up..plugged it using the XLR-3.5mm cable that came along..mounted it to the scissor arm..jack it to my Steelseries Siberia sound card..tested it over Audacity..HOLY CRAP! IT'S AWESOME!

I am decently surprise! It's definitely much better than my headphone's mic..hahaha..no I'm not bashing the Siberia V2 headset..but this is much better because there isn't anything stuck in front my mouth..I breath and sigh alot..and headphone mics pick those up..watch my videos and you'll HEAR it hahaha

I haven't been able to record much and upload much recently..I have roughly 2-3 hours every night after work..in which I spend most of the time with family and loved ones..don't want to be neglecting them don't we?

I can record many videos..it's the time taken to edit and upload that's pushing things back..now I'm still enjoying this..it's the good kind of pressure! Don't give up on me just yet dammit!

I will be uploading Destiny - Part 9 and Rocket League - Part 11..it is AFTER these 2..you'll be hearing me on the new mic..now..the next question..to record a video or not? It'll be super awkward and all..

ANYWAY! Please wait for more videos guys! In the mean time keep watching the other videos! Let me know if there is any games you guys wanna play together (co-op based games!)
